As per news report of The Indian Express, Sources said the case was registered by the NIA against Jamaat activists and office bearers early this year, for allegedly supporting terror activities at the behest of Pakistan. The organisation was banned by the central government in 2019 after the Pulwama terror attack in which 40 CRPF personnel were killed. Sources said the searches at the residential premises of Jamaat-e-Islami activists started during the early hours of Saturday, and are in progress. The raids were conducted in Doda, Kishtwar, Ramban and Rajouri districts in Jammu division, besides a number of places in Kashmir, including Anantnag and Shopian districts, sources said.
